Not as bad as it could be

Rating: 6/10 (19 March 2018)

I think it is a challenge to make a good movie using the classic Japanese clash of giant monsters vs. giant robots. Just reading the story, you probably would think that this movie is utter garbage. And you would be right if Guillermo del Toro were not the director. Adding the right dose of humor, his imagination, good rhythm and action scenes, nice CGI, Idris Elba, and a pinch of del Toro universe (there are moments in which you are expecting Hellboy or some trolls will appear), the result is not that bad. The movie is not a great movie and will not be in the hall of fame of the cinematic art, but it is enjoyable and fun.
